The Jantzen Beach SuperCenter is a typical mall with one remarkable feature: the enormous 1921 C.W. Parker Carousel that fills the entire atrium behind the food court. Listed in the National Registry of Historic Monuments, the antique carousel has been restored to working order and features four rows of colorful figures and chariots.
Rides are quite affordable, so it might be worth a side trip to see this magnificent machine. Once the music stops, visitors can peruse the SuperCenter's big-box stores like Old Navy, Target, Home Depot, Pier 1, and Barnes & Noble for a little Oregon tax-free shopping.
